6 Hour Trip- Offshore
This trip had its ups and downs. Quite literally, the waves were terrible and I still feel like I’m moving up and down. Any other captain probably would have canceled the trip but Captain Ron did not to which I am grateful for. I was only in town for a couple days so if he canceled I wouldn’t have been able to go out. Captain Ron really knows his stuff put us on the fish right away. The constant up and down with the lines dealing in fish was great! If your looking for a great time and catch a lot of fish book with Ron!

One of my greatest experiences, Capt Ron put us on the fish and gave us a day to remember. If you want to fish, this is by far the very best choice to make! 5 star rating is an understatement.
